Thanks
A search term like '91 pathfinder craigslist' will search the whole country.
I saved a bundle buying my floor mats from TN this way
My '87 suddenly quit running this morning while on the freeway, and at first I thought it was the fuel pump, because there is no smell of fuel and nothing is entering the throttle body.
But then I checked for spark, and there isn't spark either.
It simply keeps turning over, totally dead.
Ideas?
Went out and purchased new rear brake pads, around $30.00. The next day I went to the mechanic down the street to have them do the work. Explained my situation and what needed to be done. When I mentioned about resurfacing the rotors, he asked me if the rotors were steel or composite. Not knowing the answer, I called the service department at two Nissan dealers to confirm, and both told me that they were steel. Good, since I never budgeted for new rotors......I can have them resurfaced.
Truck goes on the lift, rear tires and wheels removed. "We have a problem" says the manager. "These are not steel, they're composite. Resurfacing ain't gonna work." He takes the rear left rotor off, shows it to me. Yup, the thing is warped as a you know what........Bit the bullet and had steel rotors installed, about $70 each.
Anyone with an 05 or later had a similar experience like this? I think it's just BS that Nissan uses inferior rotors that warp too easily. I know they (and other manufacturers do this), but why cut corners?
Just had to vent for a bit.
Anyone. Advise is much appreciated.
So now, the problem persists. my wife went to the mall and had trouble starting it. The car has plenty of juice but the key is unresponsive as is the remote start. There is not a click or anything but it otherwise has plenty of juice for the windows, radio, etc.
It was towed to city tire and it started right up. We took it to Garden City and back with no problems. I then took it to Stop N Shop and it wouldn't start but fired up on the 3rd or 4th try. When I got home, it wouldn't start and I tried it a few times over a few hours without luck but the next morning, it fired right up. So I left it at City Tire and they want to replace the negative cable. What do you think? Does that sound like the right move?
PS - the chirping problem sounds like the serpentine belt

The codes should tell them all they need to know to get to the bottom of it with a little legwork

as for the radiator - the radiator could have good flow in and out but still be clogged. i used an infrared temp monitor and profiled the radiator. the sides were very hot but the middle was relatively cold - had little to no flow
i would replace the water pump at the same time as the thermostat since already down there.
I sold the pathfinder last week. i was spending a few hundred bucks every other month lately so had enough.
Do I need to remove the intake to find this leak?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Mel
What about the possibility that the gas cap needs to be replaced... does that happen? :confuse:

That's probably wise.

I got the drum on one side off without much trouble. The problem is, the other side I can't get to budge. In the repair manual, it talks about removing the access plug, inserting a screwdriver to lift the adjuster lever off the adjusting wheel and using another screwdriver to turn the wheel.
For the life of me, I couldn't get the adjuster wheel to turn in the direction that contracts the shoes. Any suggestions? I tried it for about 2 hours today and didn't get anywhere. I just can't seem to get the right leverage to move the adjuster lever.
Open passenger side door and check the space below the hinges (behind front mudflaps). There is a drain there that drains water from the windshield (water flows from base of windshield to the space inbetween the door and qtr panel. Mine was clogged with leaves and other junk. Take an air hose or vacuum and get as much of the junk out as possible. Pour some water on windshield to check that you cleared the drain.
Please let me know if you've found a solution!
Anyone have any recommendations? Many thanks.
